MIR. ROBES APPOINTMENT.

The World has always been true to
S. G. Robb. It is, therefore, not neces-
airy for lis to explain our position in men
ton of his appointment as commits
sioner OF forestry for Kansas. The honor
has fallen to worthy man. Mr.. Robb
brings to the discharge of his official du-
ties mature Judgment, will Of iron, an
extensive acquaintance with books and
men, a knowledge OF what it requires to
grow trees in the buffalo-grass end of
Kansas, and desire to do his whole
duty. His appointment was favord by
substantially all our citizens to whom
his candidacy was mentioned. The ed
itor Of this paper now tenders publicly
his thanks to Judge Osborn for his gen
erous assistance in aiding the cause of
Mr.. Robb. He made the cause his own,
and spent time to further it's interests
Governor Martin, in considering the
appointment of a commissioner of for
!estry, was called upon to consider the
candidates. of three men, the other two
being Hon. Martin Allen, of Ellis county,
and Mr.. Morris Collar, of Ford county.
In appointing Mr.. Robb, the governor
did what he believed to be right. And
this act followed a thorough canvass on
his part OF the merits of each candidate.
Following the assumption, then, of GER
tain class of wiseacres, we would say that
Governor Martin, having done only his
duty, is not entitled to our thanks. The
World takes no stock in such sentiment
1t is merely a class of rotten gush which,
if realized for few years, would put an
end to Republican government. Every
citizen who leads an honorable and en-
terprising life is entitled to the thanks of
his neighbors, and this for the plain
reason that they derive benefits of the
highest order from his manly course.
If this be true of the ordinary citizen,
with how much greater force must it ap-
ply to public officers, who are beset with
so many complications of which the avir-
age citizen is total stranger! We thank
Governor Martin for appointing Mr. Robb
commissioner of forestry. It thus be-
comes possible to give the subject of
state forestry fair test, on account of
the appointment of proper man and
the correctness Of the locations of the
forest stations which is thereby guar
anteed.

The Commissioners Of Forestry.

LIE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES III = Ox066Iys
Topeka Daily Commonwealth, Wednesday.
Yesterday Governor Martin appointed
Silas G. Robb, of Trego county, COM
missioner of forestry. Mr.. Robb was
strongly recommended for the position.
He has lived in Trego county since 1873
In 1879 he was elected county clerk Of
Trego county, and served two years. He
served in Pennsylvania battery during
the late war, and participated in the bat
tie of Atlanta among other important
contests.
He is serving his second term as COM
mander of the g. A. R. post at Collyer.
Since locating in Trego county he has
lived at his ranch, in the Saline valley, six
miles north of Couyer. His study of the
soils of western Kansas and of the differ
ences between the conditions of agricul-
ture and forestry in the buffalo grass
belt and in the regions where this grass
does not abound contributes to render
him an expert in the position to which
he has been appointed.
Mr.. Robb is about fifty years old. He
is native of Pennsylvania. His exec
utive capacity is unexcelled.

The w. r. G.. Entertainment

Last evening was successful. The
weather was very unpleasant, or the sue
cess would have been greater. The play,
by our home troupe, whose names and
characters We published last week, was
good. 1t was well received, and COM
mented upon with favor. The calico
ball, following the play, lasted until
midnight. The receipts Of the evening
amounted to about fifty dollars, sum
suffisient to meet all expenses and leave a
margin.
The Ft. Hays Military Band furnished
the music.

Wednesdays Convention.

To the Editor of the Western Kansas World:
Wednesdays convention reminds us
Of a little story" A mother came sud-
denly upon her mischievous boy one day
in her pantry. BE lodged hastily to es-
cape the rap on his ear, which he con-
sciously merited, and in so doing bump
ed his head, Furnishing himself much
more severely than his mother could
possibly have done. -
Moral: Well, apply it yourself.

An Expression of Thanks.

Friend IIlton:
Will you give me space in your valua-
BILE paper to say to my friends and neigh
bors who so nobly came to me with offers
of substantial assistance in my late mis-
fortune, that if I did not sufficiently
thank them it was not for want of graft
tude, but because I could not control my
feelings to express the emotions of my
heart? AS I have not their permission, I
will mention no names, but suffice to say
that my neighbors, almost without ex-
ception, proved themselves to be such
friends as Solomon describes in his
Proverb which says: "a friend loveth at
all times, and is brother born for adver-
sity."
70 the comrades of my Post and the
ladies of the Collyer Relief Corps, I can
only say, God bless you; you will, one
and all, ever be gratefully remembered
by me and mine.

S. G. ROBB.

Mr.. w. G. Olson drove out to Mr.. S.
G. Robb's ranch Thursday afternoon.
The writer was along. To look over that
vast expanse of country, which is now as
black as a crow from the fire which re-
Gently swept over it, brings only unpleas-
ant thoughts. This setting out of prai-
RE fire is one of the most devilish things
against which western Kansas has to
contend. The question is forced upon
every observing person, Is it to be sup
pressed by summary means? or shall the
fiery demon be permitted to impoverish
or destroy people for many years to
come? II it is to be stopped, no better
time than the present will ever arrive.
